The Voice Of The Average Honduran

The 7.5 million citizens of Honduras are peacefully making their voices known, but very few media outlets are reporting the desire of the people to the extent it deserves. Mike and I have personally talked to over 150 random Hondurans and asked what they thought about the government situation and we have not found a single person that is not happy with the government change.

This past week there have been several "peace rallies" in favor of the current government and opposed to ex-President Zelaya. If this was a "military coup" would this many people support it?

Nice article. But it doesn't matter what the people want. It is going to be decided by other countries. I just watched the OAS meeting, it isn't finalized yet but it doesn't look good. I guess we can thank CNN for the misinformation spread throughout the world.
